Police have now confirmed that the suspected gunman is dead.

There were heroes at the Lai Lai Ballroom who reportedly tackled and wrestled a gunman and disarmed him before he could enter the club.
LA County Sheriff Robert Luna said they believe the man who was tackled at Lai Lai was the same man who shot and killed 10 people two miles away at Star Dance Studio in Monterey Park. Ballroom dancers are known to frequent both clubs and it’s a tight-knit circle.
